		Why Choose Solar Power?  │  Why Choose Lenape Solar?

		Quite simply, solar power is the the most economical, clean, ever-abundant, reliable and free energy source available today ... and for billions of years to come.   Abundance & Sustainability In just 40 minutes of daylight, the sun releases the equivalent of the total energy consumed by the entire population of the planet in one year ... and the sun is expected to burn for about, ohhh, another 5 billion years. Fossil fuels, however, are depleted at a rate 100,000 times faster than they are formed. Empowerment Gain control over your own energy use and graduate to energy independence, reducing or even removing your individual dependence on local & regional utility companies and reducing our nation's dependence on foreign oil. Common Sense Renewable energy in all its forms is good for the future of our planet. It simply makes sense. Affordability With government incentives, rebates, grants and subsidies, special initiatives and low-interest financing more accessible than ever, now is the time to invest in solar energy ... and in our future. Economical After a short payback period, the solar energy you are collecting & using in years to come will still be free ... while prices for fossil fuels will just keep rising higher & higher. Wise Investing Solar energy systems greatly increase the resale value of both homes and business facilities ... over $39,000 for a domestic home in year #1 alone, in fact ... with returns on your investment of up to 9% annually. That's better than any CD, bond or interest-bearing bank account. Clean Energy Solar energy systems produce clean, non-polluting energy. They are safe for our environment, safe for plants & animals ... safe for all of us. A single hot water system alone can offset the equivalent of 40% of the CO² emmissions from a modern car. Reliability A properly installed system requires very little (or no) maintenance and has an expected life of well over 20 years. And, potential annual savings of up to 80% make solar systems a very wise investment. Attractive & Simple Today's solar technology integrates beautifully with your home or business facility and requires minimal attention. Modern solar arrays are actually quite eye-catching ... and they speak loudly of your choice to make a difference.
		One question often asked is whether or not the northeastern United States is suitable for solar power usage, and the answer is an emphatic "yes!" ... despite very misleading & uninformed reporting to the contrary. On the map below, which designates (in simple terms) usable sunlight received annually, notice that Spain, the #2 consumer of solar energy in the world, is in an almost identical "zone" as the northeastern U.S.  Germany, on the other hand, is the #1 consumer of solar energy in the world, and their zone is far less sunlit.  In essence, there is more  than enough sunlight in our region to power and/or heat your home, business or industry all year long ... rain or shine, hot or cold.         In just 40 minutes of daylight, the sun releases upon the Earth the same amount of energy consumed by      the entire population of the planet in one year.   The photovoltaic effect was first observed by French physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel in 1839.   The first solar cell was built in 1877.   The first solar-powered automobile was demonstrated in Chicago in 1955.   Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize in 1921, not for his theory of relativity, but for his discovery of the law      of the photoelectric (and subsequently, photovoltaic) effect.   The largest purchaser of 'green power' (including solar power) in America is the United States Air Force.
